Aussie Erika?

March 16, 2012 at 0:47am

On my recent bike ride, we stopped at a pub in Denman, NSW for lunch. While standing near the bar, waiting for my chicken schnitzel and chips, an attractive lady passed by me, on her way to the bar. Seeing her, I was immediately reminded of our Runboard super mod, Erika. The lady in country NSW was so like Erika, that I wanted to take a picture of her. However, she was accompanied by a gentleman who, I suspect, would not take kindly to a photo request to his girlfriend/partner from a scruffy biker.

So, sadly, all I have is a grainy, out-of-focus picture taken from my iPhone at a distance. I guess it's a bit like one of those Yeti photos - never clear or close enough to be conclusive. The wannabe Erika is in the top to middle right of the shot, with her back turned to the camera.

Sixty Six Seconds On The Road Trip

2012 Annual Ride

March 6, 2012 at 5:23am

This year's destination was Moonan Flat and the weather forecast was wet, with floods. Not a great lead up to the weekend but ten of us set out in medium drizzle at 8am on the Saturday. The light rain stayed with us all morning but disappeared around noon. There was still water across a couple of sections of road, but nothing uncrossable. By the time we reached the destination pub, the roads were dry and the rain just a memory.

The locals were very friendly, the beer was very cold and we had a great night.

On Sunday, we left in glorious sunshine, which stayed with us until late in the afternoon.
